Hamden, CT
Saw three bright lights in a row - the actual shape looked like a disk Several helicopters monitored it- one was still, others did circle around it, The lights seemed to change formation, but remained steady on - Husband is into planes and helicopters and confirmed it was not either, nor was it a drone What got our attention was the behavior of the helicopters that seemed to monitor it

Brookhaven, PA
I was walking home from my boyfriend’s house and noticed a beautiful red moon. As I took a photo of it I noticed there were at least 2 unidentifiable stationary objects in the sky. It could have been one on each side of the moon, each with two very bright lights or 4 (2 on each side of the moon) each with one light. I’m not sure but I am certain they didn’t belong there. I took the picture and continued walking home. Once I turned the corner the objects were out of site and so was the moon. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

San Diego, CA
A row of very bright lights was spotted on the east side of Mt. Helix, just after midnight. Five lights in a horizontal row, white, green, white, green, white. I thought it was stadium lights, but far too bright and far too big. The lights appeared just above the east ridgeline of Mount Helix. Lights remained for about 20 seconds. After 15 seconds, another very bright set of lights, this time orange and white, appeared over the El Cajon valley to the east. The new lights lasted about 5 seconds, then both sets of lights went dark. Point of observation was near Cowles Mt. in San Carlos neighborhood.

Bristol, PA
After arriving home and parking my car in the driveway, I looked up at the shot in the direction of the Burlington Bristol bridge, and saw a very bright red ball of light, stationary. After about 10 seconds it started to move horizontally to the left, at which time I pointed it out to my friend with me. We both watched it then completely change direction and move right in the complete opposite direction. Silently. It moved behind some trees and we lost it. I called my father outside to see it, at which time it was not visible. It then came back into sight, completely stationary, directly in front of us, in the direction of FDR middle school. It had moved and covered some distance to arrive at this point. So now, all three of us watch this bright red object double in brightness, as though the initial red light had a twin attached to it. It then turned back down to normal brightness, as though there was only one red light again. After it became less bright, it then moved left and right, straight up and back down, moving in ways that defy our technology today. It then moved to the right, slowly, almost out of view behind the FDR gymnasium and the light began to fade as it moved. Another second or two passed and the object disappeared from view and we didn’t see it again. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Pittsburgh, PA
There were 2 small round lights in the sky going towards each other at a medium rate of speed. No blinking lights and too far away/fast to be airplane. The 2 lights eventually flew right past each other and then disappeared. Too close to each other to be normal aircrafts. Too slow to be shooting star. No reports of any asteroids or meteors.

Dalton, GA
For more than an hour over Dalton, GA, there were 3 balls of light visible through the clouds in the night sky at approx 2300. They were flying in formation and then performing instant stop and turn maneuvers around each other. No noise was heard. This was observed by no less than 5 people and video was taken over Chatsworth Highway. This video is making the rounds around Facebook.

Bradenton, FL
Heading Northeast (as most of my sightings are heading that way) -- I enjoy star gazing... suddenly it is one GIANT RED LIGHT - the one giant red light splits into three - (I'm looking for those "airplane lights" that flash) .. none... so now they play some sacred geometry dance and head off over gulf and dispensary.

Our camera outside had a motion sensor and was set off by a light in the sky, which doesn't look like an airplane. Video seems to indicate a slowly blinking light, that at one point, is obscured by clouds. Possible aircraft? PD

Lakeland, FL
We were standing outside talking, when I saw a VERY bright orange light to the north moving upwards vertically in the sky. It changed from orange, then to green, disappeared again, and then turned orange. In about 1 second, it turned green and moved horizontally at light speed, then bright orange, and then green before going off into the distance.

Hixton, WI
6/20/19 2138 CST approx location 44 deg. 25' 17.6" N 91 deg. 03' 20.7" W https://goo.gl/maps/mdpPK5BSAKmg4NPB7 I was driving my semi truck I-94 eastbound, I was approx 3 miles northwest of Hixton, WI. Off to the right edge of my windshield I noticed a flashing light come into my field of view. It was traveling from my right side to the left, its direction of travel was to the north-east. Because I was traveling 70mph down the hwy I could tell its distance from me was less than a mile, when I first saw it to the end I had gained distance on it and it seemed closer than at the beginning. So the light was pulsing in a binary condition, meaning full on and fully off at about 4-5Hz (times a sec), and the on period was the same as the off period, it wasn't like the flash strobe of an airplane where you have the quick flash, then long off period and the quick flash again. The light stayed the same throughout the sighting. The path of the light went pretty much horizontally from my right, over above the field to the right of the hwy, crossed over the hwy and over to the left side of the highway over some wooded area roughly 1/2mi off the hwy taking approx 4-5 seconds, it was moving very quickly. It was very low the entire time, I estimate it to be below 500ft. My work base is very close to MSN airport and I see air traffic everyday at low altitude, I also know it is against the rules to fly that low (below 500ft agl) without a really good reason. While the light was to my left just over the wooded area 5-6 bright lights dropped from the original flashing light, this took less then a second. These lights were constantly lit and they seemed to fall strait down until they were now obscured by the trees in the forest. I am now watching this from my side window, with the window down. Almost immediately after the lights dropped, the original flashing light turns its direction of travel to near vertical and keeps climbing until it looks like it goes into the clouds and I cant see it anymore. The 90 degree turn was very quick and it didn't appear to be in an arc at all, it was just suddenly going up. During this time its so close I had to stick my head out the window to look up to keep it in my sight. During this whole thing I'm thinking this is an F-16, and I try to hear the engine, and I should have been able to see the glow of the exhaust. I don't hear anything or see the exhaust, I've been to a few airshows and when jets go into a vertical climb it is very loud below it, and their pretty much giving it full throttle to maintain that climb. I also know that I can hear F-16's taking off while I'm driving my truck with the windows rolled up as it is quite a frequent occurrence when I am driving near MSN/Truax field. I watch them takeoff at night sometimes and they always have a white strobe and their red/green wing lights along with orange glowing exhaust. After I couldn't hear the engine, that's when I realized I needed to note the time and my location. I knew Volk field was somewhat near so that night I looked it up, turns out its actually over 55mi from where I was. Google maps sat view only shows farm fields, no bombing ranges. And if it was a jet fighter dropping flares, why was it flying a few hundred feet above hilly ground dropping flares into a wooded patch in a farmers field surrounded by farm houses less then a mile away from an interstate highway in near pitch dark.

Orlando, FL
It is not the first time while driving I-4 passing Downtown Orlando towards Sanford I've seen this light I was close to exit to Anderson area and the Oval light was I would say towards exit 101 or 104. I know we have an airport nearby but this is just like no track once I see it I can't find again in the clear skies. But yesterday, at 18:30, I witnessed it want wanted to let you guys know. It's like an airplane size oval shape light that disappears after a few seconds. Sometimes I keep looking thinking there is a cloud it goes into because that's the sensation that it goes into something in the sky but it just disappears. I've seen this incident a couple of times this month. I also noticed this around 17:00 in the Central Florida Parkway maybe a few months ago zip code 32821 facing north same exact shape bright, light shows and in a few seconds disappears as if it was going to a cloud but there is none. In a way looks like a bigger version to what you ! will experience if you are having a huge migraine the little dots of light you see flashing but bigger like airplanes and only one that goes away in a few seconds by disappearing in the sky. It has been only one single light each time I see it. I am always observing when I can and I spend 1 to 2 hours driving for commuting so I am aware of my surroundings and look up as well. No rainy days on daylight all these occasions. The sun is always to the right when I'm driving from I-4 Close to Conroy Road towards Daytona area.

Smithville, MO
I initally saw what looked like a star in the sky. I then noticed that it moved quickly up, down, to the right, then make half circles then zig zag quickly to the right, yet staying in a general area. I called my 19 year old son to look and he saw it too. I called the local police and 2 seasoned Smithville, Missouri, police officers came over and they saw the same "light" moving and then they saw multiple lights moving. The lights looked like stars in the sky. Three lights were in the formation of a large triangle. There was another brighter light to the right of that triangle that was moving as well. They were in the sky for some time, like 2 hours that I watched them. The more I watched the sky, the more movement I saw of bright star-like objects moving. They were not planes as planes cannot move quickly like that. I do not drink or do drugs of any kind. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.

Whole crossing the bridge noticed a really bright light in the sky towards the south. It was so bright it was hard to look at at first, then it started deem (sic. down?) when I stopped my truck to get a pic of it.

In bright sky a bright light very high in the sky. Not moving. Not a star or planet. Larger than any object normally in the sky. Maybe two or three times what the space station would appear. Clouds eventually covered. Never moved. WHIO-TV in Dayton, OH, reports the three objects are still a mystery. PD

Driving on hwy 93 south from Lolo, MT, a very bright sparkling light in the sky ahead of witness caught his attention. Object was stationary, just at the bottom edge of a bank of storm clouds that were producing lightning. Witness watched while driving south for a couple of minutes. Object just sat there, twinkling very brightly. Then it appeared to back up into the bottom edge of the cloud and disappeared. Witness first impression was that it was an airplane coming in for a landing at Missoula airport, but wondered why it just hovered there.

As the summary says, about 3 summers ago a "friend" (tinder date) and I witnessed two dots of light (slightly yellow, almost white) speeding across the sky, stopping, then going to a different spot. My friend noticed first and told me that they were acting weird, and at first I didn't believe her because what she was describing wasn't possible from my understanding of physics, and also because she was high on magic mushrooms (I was sober). I thought she was seeing things until I looked up myself and was able to locate one dot, then another speeding across the sky until they hit a dead stop, then preforming the same maneuver to a different spot with what I can only call "intent". This happened several times over the course of the 15 minutes we were watching, but what I saw was unexplainable and I haven't told too many about it because it didn't end in a satisfying resolution, and they probably wouldn't believe me or care. They gave off a solid glow, not twinkling like a star or blinking like a plane.
